Source code Documentation

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package figma-developer-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add figma-context-mcp -e 'FIGMA_API_KEY=<your figma_api_key>' -- npx -y figma-developer-mcp@0.13.2 --stdio
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "figma-context-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "figma-developer-mcp@0.13.2",
                "--stdio"
            ],
            "env": {
                "FIGMA_API_KEY": "<your figma_api_key>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Give your coding agent access to your Figma data.Implement designs in any framework in one-shot.

Give Cursor and other AI-powered coding tools access to your Figma files with this Model Context Protocol server.

When Cursor has access to Figma design data, it's way better at one-shotting designs accurately than alternative approaches like pasting screenshots.

See quickstart instructions →

Demo

Watch a demo of building a UI in Cursor with Figma design data

How it works

  1. Open your IDE's chat (e.g. agent mode in Cursor).
  2. Paste a link to a Figma file, frame, or group.
  3. Ask Cursor to do something with the Figma file—e.g. implement the design.
  4. Cursor will fetch the relevant metadata from Figma and use it to write your code.

This MCP server is specifically designed for use with Cursor. Before responding with context from the Figma API, it simplifies and translates the response so only the most relevant layout and styling information is provided to the model.

Reducing the amount of context provided to the model helps make the AI more accurate and the responses more relevant.

Getting Started

Many code editors and other AI clients use a configuration file to manage MCP servers.

The figma-developer-mcp server can be configured by adding the following to your configuration file.

NOTE: You will need to create a Figma access token to use this server. Instructions on how to create a Figma API access token can be found here.

MacOS / Linux
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Framelink MCP for Figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}
Windows
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Framelink MCP for Figma": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Or you can set FIGMA_API_KEY and PORT in the env field.

If you need more information on how to configure the Framelink MCP for Figma, see the Framelink docs.

Give your coding agent access to your Figma data. Implement designs in any framework in one-shot.

How do I install io.github.GLips/Figma-Context-MCP?

It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add figma-context-mcp -e 'FIGMA_API_KEY=<your figma_api_key>' -- npx -y figma-developer-mcp@0.13.2 --stdio. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does io.github.GLips/Figma-Context-MCP need an API key?

Yes. It expects FIGMA_API_KEY, which you set in its configuration.

Is io.github.GLips/Figma-Context-MCP open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains io.github.GLips/Figma-Context-MCP?

It is published by GLips. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
